A new book on the bench, Songs and Poems of John Dryden. London Golden Cockerel Press 1957 Chosen by Gwyn Jones. 8 full page colour illustrations and reproductions of 10 drawings by Leslie Blanch as Lavinia Blythe. Limited edition of 500, this copy un-numbered.
A week or so ago I was at the Designer Bookbinders AGM. Trust me when I say it was a good day... it was. And, as it happened, on the Bring and Buy Stall there was this text block (in sheets) begging me to buy. Who am I to refuse?
The illustrations are lovely, the text wonderful.....
